Westbrook is garbage

Yawn.

Re: Is LeBron the most disrespected star in getting calls?
The funny thing is if you watched the game in its entirety, you could see what happened at the end of regulation coming a mile away. This was a brutally officiated game against LA all night and I think that played a big role in LeBron's reaction to the no call. The frustration was building up all game.
Without a doubt the worst officiated game I've seen in years.

But 1 regular season missed call at the end against Lebron is the end of the world, not the missed call that huerter not getting earlier in the season or Herro traveling but this Lebron call is the one to do it.
This is the second time it happen this month for LBJ...It happen against Dallas too.....This league have a major problem when players like LBJ have only 5-6 FTA in the last few years and that Harden had 13 FTA per game with so many soft call when he was in Houston
Tonight is just a new low for this league

Yeah honestly in terms of how NBA calls fouls and techs calling tech there would have been more normal than a foul.

Re: Is LeBron the most disrespected star in getting calls?
This is why stronger players get frustrated and feel the need to embellish.
Unless a player is flailing, they’re expected to play through contact.

Maybe just maybe, LeBron is 37 years old and not the freight train relentlessly attacking the basket on every trip anymore.

lol you’re talking about prime Harden. Dude was relentless in attacking the hoop. Also very crafty on the perimeter at drawing fouls.
What a dumb comparison.

Re: Is LeBron the most disrespected star in getting calls?
It's weird seeing Lebron and the Lakers get screwed this year by the refs after watching both Lebron and the Lakers almost always getting the better calls in the 17'years I've watched the nba

Re: Is LeBron the most disrespected star in getting calls?
Refs have always been hesitant to call a last second foul in a tie game, either shoot it or finish hard.
